Bet the Dog on Sunday! Puppy Bowl Odds Released

by Raphael Esparza - 2/4/2017

I always tell people you can put odds up on anything and you will get action no matter what it is, and our friends over at 5Dimes haven't proven us wrong yet. Again, I do not have a gambling problem because of what I'm going to throw down this Super Bowl Sunday, and my wager has nothing to do with Super Bowl 51.

Not only is this Sunday Super Bowl 51, but Sunday afternoon is the Puppy Bowl XIII, televised on the Animal Planet. Offshore sports book 5Dimes has put a line on the Puppy Bowl, and I can't believe I'm typing this: the number has moved quickly. Who is in the Puppy Bowl you ask? Sunday afternoon Puppy Bowl XIII pits Team Ruff versus Team Fluff, and don't forget my wife favorite, the Kitty-Cat Halftime Show.

5Dimes posted a line on the Puppy Bowl, and they opened Team Fluff -560 and the Wise Dogs (bad pun of Wise Guys) quickly bet it up to -600 as of Saturday morning. The underDOG Team Ruff is now +400; Team Ruff opened +370 on Friday.

Here are the odds and my betting predictions - Odds Provided by 5Dimes

Puppy Bowl XIII - Animal Planet

Team Ruff Money Line +400

Team Fluff Money Line -600

After hours and hours of research and going over footage of these two puppy teams, I have broken down the Puppy Bowl, and here is my free winner. Last year Team Ruff easily won 70-44 over Team Fluff, and if there was a total I believe that Puppy Bowl would have gone easily over. This year I'm taking the 'Underdog' (yes pun intended), and getting +400 is just too hard to pass. They say that a dog is man's best friend, and I'm hoping a man's best friend will cash me my +400 underdog ticket.

Two years ago was the first year there were two teams and an actual scoreboard. Last year's Puppy Bowl drew 10 million viewers, and the first Puppy Bowl in 2005 had 5.58 million viewers. This year the Puppy Bowl is showcasing some special-needs dogs and its own Lady Gaga-esque halftime show. Hopefully the kids can still watch the halftime show if its going to be Lady Gaga-type halftime programming.

Pick:	KANSAS CITY CHIEFS -5.5

Analysis:

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #465 Kansas City Chiefs -5.5 over Cleveland Browns (1p.m., Sunday, December 15 CBS) The Chiefs keep winning games and sooner or later one of those wins will come by a comfortable margin. I look for that to be this Sunday against a Browns team that is just playing out the string. Cleveland currently sits at 3- 10 and will enter this game having lost 4 of their last 5 games. Their only win came against Pittsburgh in a snow game on a short week. All 4 of those losses by the Browns have come over the posted number for this game. Kansas City is better on both sides of the football, and I just do not see the Browns offense keeping pace. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports Weekend card featuring top plays in basketball, football, and hockey. We will feature our World-Famous Nonconference Game of the Year in College Basketball on Saturday. This game has won 13 of the 15 years it has been in existence and it is a must have for any big game hunter. Read More Read Less
